The room was super clean and done every day. Every staff member we spoke to was extremely nice and helpful. Paul at the restaurant was wonderful. Sharif was so kind to our son. But the time we left our 3 yr old would say , "mama, there's our new friend". The young man that helped with our luggage was awesome but i forgot to get his name. When asked if we had mobility limitations we said yes but were put on the 3rd floor. No elevator. That was a struggle but did not change what a perfect vacation we had
From our balcony.

This property is convenient to the airport. The beach is beautiful! Staff are friendly. The property was dirty. The bathroom fan in our room did not work. This should have been checked and fixed before we arrived. All kinds of "stuff" below our balcony that had been there for a while. A rats nest of cables and power cords under the bed. The pool wasn't cleaned daily. Only one wait person to serve several tables of guest. Windows around reservation desk office were dirty. Night lights for walking ramps did not work or weren't in existence! Room service only left one wash cloth and hand towel for two people. Safe in closet did not work on arrival. It did get fixed. The AC unit on balcony was same level as chairs and constantly blew warm air so you couldn't comfortably sit on balcony! Expedia should be held accountable for offering this property on their site. I may not use Expedia again after this experience.
